Pat NewcomerJust turned on the nest, and it is off. There was a lot of talk on SS about it yesterday. I left my computer all night and was able to get on SS but no cam. Does any one know how long it might be down? There was also talk about even if the cam did come back up might not be any chat or SS. That really is too bad, I like the mods there. So if that happens, thanks to all the mods. You all were kind and had a lot of knowledge! Will miss all of you. — feeling confused.12 hours agoLikeComment11 people like this.

Laura Anderson What cam is SS?12 hours ago · Like

Pat Newcomer Laura SS is social Stream, on most of the cams. I"m talking about MN Bound nest. From what I read yesterday it was sold to another server and will be down for a while. No chat either. Just videos.12 hours ago · Like · 1

Pat Newcomer Linda Bradford on SS yesterday. We talked about it for some time. Laura I started with Decorah and then discovered MN, with all we went through with Harmond. I cried all afternoon! 12 hours ago · Like · 2

Pat Newcomer Sorry, I messed that up. But I guess BBC won't have it any longer. Some one else will. I hope I'm wrong!12 hours ago · Like · 1

Laura Anderson I was not watching Decorah when Harmond was in trouble. But I sure have the links about his life save under favorites. Such a sweet story. When I was introduced to this Awesome group last year, that is when I found out about Harmon and saw the videos. I cried then and still cry whenever I watch the videos.12 hours ago · Like · 3

Pat Newcomer Yes Laura those videos were hard to watch. But Harmon was a fighter! And then last year they had 2 great E's.12 hours ago · Like · 1

Laura Anderson I watched Peace and Harmony from the first egg laid. They were such good buddies and has such personalities. Peace was laid back, easy going, and Harmony wanted things NOW! LOL I'l never forget when Harmony had a temper tantrum b/c M or D (can't remember which one) when they landed on the nest, did not bring food. I also remember Peace finally figure out how to keep her food once she claimed it. Once she could fly, she figured out that if she flew away, LOL They were quite the pair those two. 12 hours ago · Like · 3

Peggy Wenzel I was so looking forward to this season and so far things have not been what I expected - kind of the snowball effect of stuff gone wrong there12 hours ago · Edited · Like · 3

Pat Newcomer Yes I feel the same way Peggy Wenzel, guess all we can do is wait and see. Hope they have it back before the eggs hatch!12 hours ago · Like · 3

Jane Rucker Very odd, the chain of events, I will agree. But, there's not a lot we can do about it, but hope they get it going again. For the SS to go down like that though, that may point to a problem with Ustream. I hear Ustream is very expensive, so who knows. Maybe it relates to a billing issue? We shall see I suppose.11 hours ago · Edited · Like · 3

Connie True We have a while until hatch so let's just send positive/NWZ thoughts to MN nest and video stream management. Even if it's down for just a few days we know Mom & Dad are taking care of their eggs and we'll get in on the fun soon. Gotta stay positive, folks!11 hours ago · Like · 4

Shauna McGinley As for the server it is a possiblity that BBC sold the one they have that runs the cam but then that server runs everything else too. So maybe they are upgrading but that seems strange too to put all the Broadband customers our of Internet for a whole weekend while the set up a new one all this just seems strange11 hours ago · Like · 2

Linda Bradford So BBC server would be the same they use for their regular customers?11 hours ago · Like · 1

Jane Rucker Sure seems strange to me. Oh well, and so we wait. At this point, I guess everything we might think it could be is conjecture. I don't understand why anyone would sell a server, that's nothing more than a computer. I suppose we'll see, sooner or later.11 hours ago · Like · 1

Shauna McGinley Jane I know recently that they aquired another town or two and are expanding into voip so to keep up with all they are doing they may have needed too11 hours ago · Like · 1

Jane Rucker Probably so. Then I bet they purchased a bigger and better computer/server and are trying to get it setup. One thing is for sure, if the eagle cam was drawing bandwidth that could be affecting their paying customers, they would turn it off for sure. That makes more sense than anything.11 hours ago · Like · 2

Jane Rucker Laurie, "they" as in a chatter posting on the public FB page? As far as I know, no one from Broadband made any kind of statement.11 hours ago · Like

Laurie Woolsey I read something, not sure if it was a mod in chat or where I saw it, said ss would be down, enjoy the live cam without ss or chat, then I got the impression they were working on things, thats all. Does their FB page say anything? That would be a huge letdown to us viewers after all this time if cam isn't up!10 hours ago · Like

MNBound Nest Chat Comment Thread: We will chat here instead of Social Stream. Sometimes you will need to click the Facebook Notification Globe at top right to refresh, otherwise it could be a little bit before you see the most recent comments. Otherwise, this is just like chatting on SS. I am pinning this page to the top of the group. Adding: One more thing, to view all comments (should you wish to) you will occasionally have to click "View Previous Comments" - that would be only if you need to catch up when arriving.
